Commentary
Cassette deck with horizontal loading mechanism.
It uses a tray type horizontal loading mechanism to ensure smooth rotation of the flywheel, stable running of the tape and reduction of modulation noise, and separate motors for reel, capstan, and loading to ensure smooth operation.
It uses a cassette stabilizer made of ceramic composite material and a ceramic composite cassette tray (C. C. C. T), and the modulation noise is reduced by fixing the tape firmly without difficulty.
Equipped with a Dolby B/C type noise reduction system.
Also, it is equipped with Dolby HX Pro which prevents over-bias phenomenon.
Equipped with an FL bar graph peak meter that displays high precision from -40dB to + 10 dB.
Equipped with linear time digital counter with memory stop mechanism.
It uses an optical pulse detection method that does not burden the rotation of the reel, and displays the tape position with a 4-digit number.
Uses a non-slip reel drive system that maintains the proper tension of the tape.
The recording and playback amplifier section uses a DC amplifier configuration and ± 2 power supply system.
It is equipped with a bias fine adjuster.
Equipped with Music Search.
